• U.S. District Court in Rochester: Client Sought 'Attention and Chaos'

Ian Rotunno, according to his attorney, did not personally want to kill former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Instead, he was hoping to "create some attention and chaos" that would generate a public uprising in support of the execution of the two men, Mark D. Hosken, assistant federal public defender, said Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Rochester where Rotunno appeared for a detention hearing.

• Dnc: Bush Late to the Party On Gas Prices; President Bush Finally Embraces Democratic Proposals to Combat Record-High Gas Prices

WASHINGTON, April 25 /U.S. Newswire/ -- With his poll numbers in the low 30's and Americans struggling under the weight of record- high gas prices, President Bush has finally embraced sound Democratic proposals he once rejected. Today, President Bush announced that he will investigate price gouging in the oil industry as well as divert deposits from the strategic petroleum reserve into the American market. These solutions were put forth by Democrats in Congress months, even years, ago but President Bush and Republicans in Congress refused to consider these alternatives until now. Apparently it takes a 32 percent approval rating to get the President's attention on the issues that affect the American people. The hypocrisy couldn't be more clear: after continuously rejecting Democratic pr...

• Katrina: An Alarm Clock Tragedy and a Call for Political Action

The internal difficulties can be dealt with later. We must empower ourselves now! Tomorrow may be too late. Already the image makers are putting their special spin on the aftermath. Suddenly there are more "white faces" on the screen. There is not much mentioning, anymore, of looting for food versus looking for food. The attacks on the administration, especially on President Bush, have diminished. Instead, focus is on "local" officials. I strongly suggest that you analyze the text and the subtext of the articles you read--including this one! Billions of dollars will soon pour into the Southern coast, all designed for "damage control. I am not being extra cynical or callous. No one can deny the desperate need that exists in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi; neither should we deny the ...

• Wanted: Diplomat: ; Bolton Is Discredited

AMERICA is represented at the United Nations by John Bolton, whose go-it-alone attitude is ill-suited to the job of sitting down with other countries and working out peaceful solutions to world problems. Bolton was so unpopular among both Democrats and Republicans in Congress that the Senate never confirmed him as U.N. ambassador. Instead, President Bush appointed Bolton temporarily during a 2005 recess. That appointment runs out at the end of this year, when the current Congress adjourns.

• Ralph Nader's 'Sucker Play' to Deprive a Possible Black Presidency

Those who remember the 2000 presidential election that pitted Al Gore against George Bush should recall howNader's entrance into that race sucked away votes from Gore - the Democrat presidential nominee. Many believe that had [Ralph Nader] not entered the race that Gore would have been president instead of Mr. Bush. Be that as it may, this newspaper has a very queasy feeling about Nader's latest foray into presidential politics. It's almost like "déjà vu," if you will.

• Understanding Your World: U.S., Weary of Ira's Bloodshed, Shuns Sinn Fein

St. Patrick's Day has come and gone. The day has always been a happy one for Americans, because St. Patrick, Ireland's apostle, is America's unofficial patron saint. He transcends national and religious divisions, belonging to everybody. American politicians in particular like St. Patrick because they use his day to shore up their share of the Irish-American vote. This St. Patrick's Day, however, was different for the American political establishment. Instead of the traditional warm embrace for the leaders of Sinn Fein, the political wing of the Irish Republican Army, the White House kept Gerry Adams, the Sinn Fein leader, at arms length. So did the country's Irish-American leaders. Instead, President Bush invited the family of slain Belfast Catholic Robert McCartney to the White House ...

• Gop Worries Firings Hurt Bush: ; Analysis

WASHINGTON - Republicans say the flap over firing U.S. attorneys is muddling their message and damaging President Bush. Instead of trumpeting their criticisms that Democrats are meddling in Iraq strategy and raising taxes, GOP lawmakers find themselves fielding questions about embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. They put a hefty share of the blame on the White House for flubbing its response to the firings.
